31 -- This is a sample database setup that may be used to write data collected by
32 -- collectd to a PostgreSQL database. We're using two tables, 'identifiers'
33 -- and 'values' to store the value-list identifier and the actual values
36 -- The 'values' table is partitioned to improve performance and maintainance.
37 -- Please note that additional maintainance scripts are required in order to
38 -- keep the setup running -- see the comments below for details.
40 -- The function 'collectd_insert' may be used to actually insert values
41 -- submitted by collectd into those tables.
43 -- Sample configuration:
